*Exclusive* Tyson’s Babymoms: “He’s Not Gay & He’s Not An @sshole”

Posted by Bossip Staff

April & Tyson

Meet April, Tyson’s babymom and a celebrity stylist on E!’s video vixen reality show, Candy Girls. Bossip recently sat down with April to discuss the notion that Tyson Beckford is an arrogant flamer, and to see just how beneficial Candy Girls will be for the Tatalalicious’ of the world:

Bossip: I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors that Tyson is secretly gay?
April: Yes, and the rumors are hard on our son. Just because he’s a model or he’s into fashion, why would somebody say that? Or if he affiliates with high fashion people that everyone knows is gay, does that make your father gay? But, I’m torn, because I don’t want him to wake up thinking that there’s something wrong with that (homosexuality). But, his dad is not, I can vouch for that.

Bossip: How did you meet Tyson?
April: Funny enough, it was actually very early on back when he was just a Polo model . Back in 95’. He hadn’t been stamped with the supermodel title yet. I was working at a restaurant called Georgia, a famous soul food restaurant. Tyson was apart of a fashion show one year and he came into the restaurant and he asked the owner about me. He gave me his number. I accidentally threw the number away and went back looking for it in the trash can. The rest is history…

Bossip: What kind of father is he?
April: Well, we live on different coasts, so I got out of my way to make sure that the boys spend holidays together and the summers together. Jordan comes back home with a totally different swagger because he’s been hanging with the guys. It’s definitely hard in this industry with all of the traveling, so he’s not as hands on as we would like. But, the love is there and we communicate.

Bossip: A lot of people consider him to be this rude, arrogant, pompous asshole. Any truth to that?
April: At the end of the day, he has to go through a lot. Rumors of him being gay and things like that are constant. It’s hard for people in the industry when you constantly have to have a smile on your face. Or, be that person that’s always warm and like greeting what’s going on in this world. We all go through our personal struggles, and I would say that maybe he’s not as good at juggling all those things. I wouldn’t say he’s an asshole. On the flipside, there’s so many people that come in contact with him and say, he’s such a gentlemen. I think there’s a slight case of multiple personalities, because it’s hard. Sometimes you do get that bad rap. It comes along with the job.

People go through it all the time. I remember when I was working at the restaurant and people would come up to Denzel Washington while he was eating and it’s like, ‘Not now!’ People are so excited to see you and they want to be apart of your world. If you’re not openly inviting, then you get a bad rap.

Bossip: People’s ideas of Video vixens are that they’re tramps, ho’s, ect. Do you think the show will change people’s minds?
April: Yes, Candy Girls shows things like what’s expected from a model when she comes on set. Overall, it shows the different steps, like how important it is to network and how important it is to represent yourself as a female and as a member of a company. It shows you that they’re just not all out there trying to be down with the artists or all up under them. There’s a reason why people decide to do this. Maybe their self esteem is low. Maybe they want that recognition. Each character has their own story.

  • Tessa

    If it were up to the internet/blogs, everyone would be gay.

  • Come on People

    I second that Tessa.

  • PURPPLE, just call me TADOW

    NEWSFLASH…just cause you screwed him..dont make him not gay sweety. Actually this whole scenario fits right into his gay image. Not that i ever cared, he’s a nice looking dude regardless

  • Cassie

    didn’t he used to be a blood

  • Cassie

    5th baby what im getting better at this ish

  • POP & LOCK ( the real one)

    *snicker* gayass dude.

  • dcgal

    the way these chicks form families is wack

  • http://signoftimes@msn.org mild sauce part of the sauce family tradition ™

    Purp , i agree just cause she screwed him dont make him not gay! who cares anyway!

  • RBaby

    I saw the show…Tyson’s babymama wants to be black so bad it’s laughable. All I can do is shake my head and laugh.

  • jb_1030 (Cougar Shoenista in the making)

    Tyson has a kid?

    Wait is that a pee-pee drip on the boxers?

  • eva da diva

    @PURPLE,just call me TADOW
    exactly, how the hell can you vouch that that man ain’t gay in the same convo where you say yall live on different coast and was together before he was on the level he is now back in 95. I don’t care either but people can only vouch for what a person does with them sexually, nothing else.

  • http://www.myspace.com/ocky_j Octavia

    Whoa…. she is…. not cute. But then again, he never did it for me. He still looks gay.

  • Mrs. Philly

    he looking like he’s packin, but ioono.

  • http://dicooper.spaces.live.com/ DICooper

    Where else can you find a woman supportive (and dumb) enough to let you hold it down on two coasts while she takes care of your seed.

    My man gets props even though back in 2001 I went to a party in the FALL near pier 69 (OUTSIDE) and Tyson was out there walking around with no shirt on.

    And really when you talk to Tyson in person he’s a straight-up dude even though you might see him at Joe’s pizza (Carmine & Bleecker) on the late night tip sometimes in the Summer time wearing a full length fur with no shirt on.

  • AndwhatDidUsAY2me

    Im another who agree that ” JUST BECAUSE U SLEEP WITH A MAN AND HAVE HIS BABY DOES NOT MEAN HE COULDNT BE GAY!”.. and with her being in the industry knows THAT already !! shes not foolin me….

  • mrsmayes

    Why is every black man labled gay in the industry…. i don’t see you negroes talkin’ about white men being gay…why do critical of your own race?

  • mrsmayes

    excuse me, i mean to say why so critical of our own race..

  • LuvT

    What is the evidence that he is gay?

  • STRANGE PROGRAM

    If he sleeps with women and men, that would make him Bi-sexual, not Gay per se. There is a difference in the two obviously. I dont care who he is laying the pipe too, I damn sure wldnt leave him alone wid any chick I was smashing, HELL TO THE NAW LOL.

  • eva da diva

    @mrsmayes
    As for me I see most white men especially on tv or in the industry as gay or frminine off tops anyway. Like Jonh Mayer I said for the longest he was gay that is why he had so many women issues and he just admitted he made out with Perez Hilton, but in the white community he still not
    gay. I don’t understand that and I don’t think most black people are trying to so we call out people when we think they are suspect.

  • Marquis de Sade

    Typical bitter black women venom: A BLACKMAN HAS INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH NON-BLACK FEMALE = GAY. So transparent.

  • chaka1

    I met him twice. Each time he was surrounded by gay men. Then again, Miami+Fashion+Shows=GAY. He just seemed like a regular guy and not overtly gay at all. He was really friendly too. His face was perfection.

  • http://www.myspace.com/gazfynest Snow (Ima be a white woman today)

    I’m not bitter Im mad as hell….:)

  • Valian Thor

    He could be bi-sexual.

  • sharon

    These agents plant these hoes in the picture, oh go have a baby, cuz if people/women find out u a dl homo ya career is over.

    Tyson is a WOMAN. accept it, it’s ok, and move on.

  • tah

    i didnt know he had a child, let alone a babymomma or whateva she is, to be honest i think that it is nothing more than a front on tv, cuase he is a bootyhole chaser

  • Moreaces

    I’ll be glad when the world stops making such a big issue out of being gay, let folks live their life in peace, and love who they want to love, and have a family that desire to have without other people lossing their damn minds. This is why we continue to have the disgusting DL life, Be gay, but dont be a coward, come out and be who you are, I just dont see how people can live a lie in the closet, its not that important.

  • Look in the mirror

    I see de sade has a new word from his rethuglican masters to throw up. LADIES the word for today is ‘bitter.’ That is the white man’s burden De Sade thought you knew better. I thought Black women were more of the angry cast. Tell your masters to make up their minds we can’t be bitter and angry those two just don’t go together.

    I think she is in denial. He’s not going to show his true self if he’s trying to get at a female. He must be bi or DL as they call it.

    She seems pretty nice. Her accent is pretty annoying but still nice.

    @ Mrs. Philly

    Believe me. He’s not packing. I saw on another site that he’s…um, well, let’s just say he has a “mini-me.”

    Well I figure it’s safe to use my Marquis S.N. until my imposters show up. I’m only on her for a few more minutes. Have to go to work pretty soon.

    I went to Dorsey for my last year of H.S.. My first two years of H.S. was at Fremont. I grew up in South Central.

  • http://signoftimes@msn.org mild sauce part of the sauce family tradition ™

    @jb… damn girl you saw a pee pee drip on his bokers.. i hate to have leave my boxers around you ms inspector gadget!!jk.. its a jokey joke! but anyway that broad is talking out the side of her mouth , she wanted to find out if the myth is true and she did and got preg, so what else is new, she probably gay too! smdh!

  • jb_1030 (Cougar Shoenista in the making)

    What year did you graduate from Dorsey? Fremont is kind of hood. I grew up int he neighboorhood behind Angeles Funeral home

  • jb_1030 (Cougar Shoenista in the making)

    @ Mild

    LOL you know me got lost in the trance of the NUDIQ and was like wait what is that?

  • Ro Ro

    She’s cute. Also it’s nice to hear a BabyMomma talking nice about her BabyDaddy. Alot of chicks could take some lessons from this chick.

  • ..andyourpointis…..

    I’ve seen the show and this chick is a clown to me. Reading her interview on here just confirmed that…..Her accent is a no no and quite ANNOYING….

    I find it odd that when SOME PINKIES get poked by the black mandingo and have a seed, they whole attitudes and demeanor changes and they take on that whole “accent”….

  • Marquis de Sade

    jb

    That would reveal my age. During my last year at Dorsey, I resided at the Woodlake Manor Apts. on Coloseum & Santa Barbara (now called MLK). That should give you an inkling of my age.

  • gig

    jb_1030 you are one brow beaten idiot.

  • Christie’s secrets (la vie serait plus belle si j’avais un job !!! grace a dieu tout ira bien tres bientot)

    Mna, i would pay big bucks just to have his balls on my hand! he is so BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! I knew he wasnt gay! that man probably has the most exciting sexual life ever around all these models! not just fat asses but beautiful women!

  • Lady J

    Lucky Bastard…

  • Marquis de Sade

    Fake fake De Sade this is unacceptable kill yourself oops already dead from listening to your dumbass.

  • jessica

    Whatever the case is this woman looked mighty desperate when she asked Tyson about having another baby on Candy Girls, lol that was classic. Furthermore, in my opinion she is his biggest fan and will say anything to back him up as she should for her baby’s daddy…so NEXT, MOVING ON, Uh Huh Yeah.

  • http://Bossip Awwww!

    What’s really funny is that this woman looks like used to be a man!

  • http://uneejah@aol.com hater of z

    @marquis de Sade.. how does it feel to be imposeterd, you do it all the time plus you talk to your own other Sn’s , so get lost bust it bum!

  • DUMMIES

    April grew up in Philly. And she is NOT trying to “act black” you idiots! She is from the hood! And she is probably MORE hood then most of you a-holes!

  • GG

    I wonder what he saw in this ugly looking white woman.

  • Sydney™

    @Dummies

    Do you know this person?

    And you’re probably right, I’m sure she is much, much more “hood” than me.

    lol

  • Sepia830

    Is he gay? Can’t say 100% for sure but I recall receiving an email a while back of him at a party surrounding by a group of men who were obviously gay. That said, Tyson is either gay or a fruit fly.

  • Christie’s secrets (la vie serait plus belle si j’avais un job !!! grace a dieu tout ira bien tres bientot)

    @ treasure

    i 100% agree

    when your own friend keeps telling you your man is fine, you need to start wonderin!

  • Adrienne

    Tyson is fine whether he is gay or not. To me, that is his personal preference as well as his personal business. BUT, I will say, his son’s mother is not a looker. Sorry, she’s not cute, but who am I but a mere blogger just passing time. She’s making her stacks so the hell with being cute huh? lol

  • http://www.freewebs.com/bestsexever jean*grey

    hell nawww.. he ain’t gay.. I KNOW>.hahaha

  • John

    Who cares if dude goes to gay bars? If he happens to have a gay friend and that friend invites you to a gay-friendly place, what should you say…I don’t feel comfortable or I don’t like hanging out with gays…Truth is, if you can’t feel comfortable around gays, maybe it is you that are not hetero.

  • wack

    she sounds like a stan than a friend. NEXT

  • Sydney™

    @Dummies

    Oh, OK, so you know her, lol. That explains that. :)

  • Adrienne

    @Christie’s secrets
    Because I figure by then you have had your arguments and ups and downs as a couple and learned know each other really well. Also gotten yourself, as a individual in a financial postion to get married to someone. The decision to get married just doesn’t ride on love, you have to be financially stable as well. The only way I’m riding out longer than 4 years is if I am in school trying to get my shyt right or he is……

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    I have male cousins/friends that have accompanied me to special events at gay clubs, and they are in no way gay or what ever a fruit fly is. Also I have gone to many straight clubs with straight girlfriends, and I am in no way straigt, I go just to hang with friends and have a little fun, same as my straight friends do when we go to a gay club that I like hanging at, thats what friends to.

  • *Treasure*

    @ Lalaland

    I agree.

    She is giving false hope to her son. He bawled his eyes out because he did not want his father to leave. She should stop giving that child false hope and leave Tyson alone. April appeared desperate. When the relationship is over you maintain a civil environment for the sake of the child. Giving hints of reconciling could be detrimental to that child. Just move on. Why entertain the notion of having another child with your ex because you want a baby. That is selfish. That child will be born to another single mother and the father will be absent.

  • John

    I have gay friends and if they asked me to hang out with them, I would, as long as it wasn’t a male strip club. I really don’t see a problem with this.

    Open your mind people…..

  • John

    This is off subject but do you guys think Don Lemon is gay? If so, where is the proof?

  • LOON

    when a girl cause another girl ugly then she is UGLY!!!LOLLLL

  • Adrienne

    @ Loon,

    You sound so stupid…lol…when a girl calls a girl busted it’s bc she is. Just like if I called you busted…it would be because you are. Why would you even say that? LOL!!!!

  • My Opinion

    Tyson is an attractive man, but like others have said he does nothing for me. Not the way Denzel Washington, Boris Kodoe, Don Cheadle or Hill Harper (wish he was a little taller).

    Also I hate when these men go out with these white girls you try and be black, it is clear they only want someone with white skin, and that is sick. Second this female was checking for brothers anyway…working at the resturant and all.

    Back off of our fine brothas…damn, you would not like it if we chased after white men like you do black men.

    @John
    what’s with your obsession with gay people?

  • *Treasure*

    I never saw what the fuss was about Tyson Beckford. He has a nice physique, but that is all in my opinion. I like chocolate but he does not do it for me.

  • Christie’s secrets (la vie serait plus belle si j’avais un job !!! grace a dieu tout ira bien tres bientot)

  • John

    @ Just Wanna Know

    I don’t discriminate when it comes to friends.
    I stand up for gay rights but I am straight. I could care less what someone says about me.

  • enkogkneegro

    If one were to use the logic that rules this and most blogs and gossip site on line….If you’re a male model you’re GAY, if you’re a rapper you’re GAY, if you’re an actor you’re GAY, if you’re an sports figure you’re gay…so I guess the only folks that aren’t gay are us bloggers…lol

  • Sydney™

    I have to be the pretty one in the relationship, lol, and I’m not sure I want his brows to look better than mine, which I do have threaded regularly, lol.

  • Lois Lane

    It’s interesting that Tyson (even back in 1995) was working with beautiful models every day, and I assume he was living in NYC, which is filled with beautiful and educated black (as well as Latino and Asian) women. Yet he chases after a wigga who is a WAITRESS — and a very plain one at that?? And then had a baby with her?!? Incredible. And there is NOTHING more annoying to me than a white person who talks like they’re black.

  • LOON

    @Adrienne
    trust me, based on experience. ill see some girls calling other girls ugly at bars, partys… and i will be like she even look 10times better than ur ugly azz.LOL

  • TXredbone

    Ladies, make him put a ring on it first! Boo!!!!! Hoes need to sit down!

  • *Treasure*

    enkogkneegro

    I agree with you. These bloggers are out of control. According to them everyone is Gay or a tranny in drag. It is getting old. You can’t always detect a gay man. It is very offensive to call a man gay when he isn’t. If I was a man accused of being gay I would be infuriated.

  • Space Traveller

    hes gay
    and you wanna know how?
    cus his baby momma looks like a tranny

    working in a soulfood resturant? damn theres one of these white girls in every hood/city/county huh? u know the white girls who hang out with the sistahs, style their hair like the sistahs, rock the urban gear and get jobs that cater to black folks.

    smh

  • Tony Redds

    Damn ladies..why hate on his childs mother? She could be a woman with substance

  • John

    @ Sydney

    LOL.. I do all of the above and will continue to until they day I do. Plus I wear skinny raw denim!

    I’ve been told by women that they thought I was gay because I was well-manicured. It use to get to me me now I have accepted that it comes with the territory. I just like to look and feel good! women. Do women not want a guy to look better than her because of their insecurities? Are women afraid that a man that pretty can just up and leave to be with another?

    And no I’m not calling you insecure!

  • http://nomaam.com No Ma’am

    She does not interview well, AT ALL.

  • rekababy

    i didnt know he had a baby by a white girl
    not surprising…

    whatever who cares, gay or straight

    tyson & his baby momma = irrelevant

    next!

  • KENNEDY

    Tyson’s BM is a ghetto hag. Trust he would’ve never dated a Black woman as tacky as she is. All she did was use him to do break into the fashion industry.

  • Sydney™

    @John

    LOL, no, it’s not insecurity with me. I just want to be the “pretty” one in the relationship, if that make sense. I place high importance on softness and femininity, and if the man I dating has better arched brows than I do than I may feel like. . .well, I may feel like I’m dating one of my sista friends, lol.

    And, yeah, some women may feel that a man that meticulous about his appearance may up and leave to be with another — another man, that is, lol. *not saying that’s the case here, in any way*

    I just think there’s a balance that should be struck, that’s all. There’s nothing wrong with a man taking care of himself, but if he’s afraid that he’s going to chip a nail, then I may have to raise my arched brow, lol.

  • Sydney™

    *if that makes sense*

    Please pardon the typo

  • Carla

    I don’t know about Tyson being gay, but I do think he is a douche bag. April seems like she has low self esteem, very sad.

  • facefacts

    lol she is a tragic looking white woman so although he may not be gay or any a*shole, he still that typical black man just so desperate to get with a white girl….no matter how eched she looks!!!!smdh

  • enkogkneegro

    Sometimes folks just grow up in areas and take on the flavors of their environment, style of dress, slang, attitude and so on…….could be thats just who they are…..and can I have some clarity on being black ?

  • Sydney™

    LOL! Now you know I don’t like the Jim Jones type. I’m not even going to ask what “nut cheese” is. Ugh!

  • Sharie

    How does she know who he is sleeping with?

  • tt

    I have met April quite a few times. She use to style for two dear friends of mine and I have to say that she’s one of those kinds of people who sticks with you. Everyone likes her, no one has slept with her, she has intergrity and she’s mad cool. I don’t know her well, but my brother is one of her former clients and we just think that she’s awesome.

  • marigold23

    Tyson isn’t at all gay and is cool as hell and intelligent actually. You’d have to be in order to make it as far up in the industry as he did. I really like him as a person. His girlfriend is really pretty too. Light skinned girl, but Black.

    April, unfortunately, they just slept together and she got pregnant. Notice in her bio it doesn’t say “ex-girlfriend” or anything. It’s said but she never even made it to girlfriend status. She does seem nice though so I’m really not slammin’ her, just being brutally honest.

    Tyson is cool though. Really cool, down to earth as hell. Love him to death.

  • me (the original) Ms_NYC and RichardBibs GTFO!!! And no one gives a damn about millionaires club/chat/romance.com!!!

    Again, I’m not saying Tyson is gay one way or another. I really don’t care. I hate him.

    But didn’t Superhead say she saw him and Big Tigga getting it on in a hotel room in Miami or something like that? Not that what that woman says should be taken as gospel, but still.

    @syd and that “roughneck” neck the main one exploring for doo doo.

  • Sydney™

    @pm

    Well, I’ve heard that perception, lol. I just think that the “roughneck/thug” persona has become highly popularized in our culture versus the clean-cut, well-mannered image (hopefully, this is changing with the images of educated, poised black men who have entered the national scene). Being sophisticated may become “cool” again. At least I hope. :)

    Girl, preach. :D

  • Sydney™

    @John

    I think it starts at home. Young men shouldn’t be able to leave their houses with their underwear exposed, nor should young ladies be allowed to be garbed in provocative clothing, IMHO. I think the lesson should be driven home that image means a lot, and the way you present yourself to the world is how it will receive you. There’s appropriate casual clothing, and there’s also attire that is expected in a professional environment. Adults should provide proper guidance to kids on these matters, I believe.

  • *Treasure*

    Tyson works in an industry where there are scores of gay males. Is he suppose to not socialize with these gay males for fear of being labeled gay? There are numerous men on the DL but people have become homophobic and mean spirited. It is wrong to start spreading vicious gossip that someone is gay based on a theory. I don’t know if there is truth to the rumor.

  • shut up bitch

    DAMN OUTTA all the WOMEn in the world he chose her dAmn i got hope!!!

  • Ummmmmm….

    I do agree that gay rumors must start somewhere. Which is why, at least when it comes to celebs, I just do a simple google ‘ __________ + gay’ and see what pops up. You’d be surprised how many gays will post their run ins at bars, list friends who dated them and other details confirming it may be in fact true.

  • Wonder why

    People stay Superhead is a lie BUT SHE HAS YET TO BE SUED FOR LIBEL!!!!!

    However the National Enquirer stays getting sued when they pring lies, so I’m going to say it again.

    The gay thing doesn’t get attached to all Entertainers, it gets attached to the Gay ones.

  • Huh? (new on here but not 2 b confused with the other 1)

    2 things. Nice picture of Tyson and it’s funny that she was working at a soul food restaurant, she must really be cool with black people because she’s a stylist at a company with mostly black women. She seems like a cool person. I never really thougt Tyson was gay, just that he’s probably into non-black women (which looks like it’s true)which is fine.

  • T

    I saw the pics of him and Jeter hugged up. Period.

  • Huh? (new on here but not 2 b confused with the other 1)

    “Typical bitter black women venom: A BLACKMAN HAS INTIMATE RELATIONS WITH NON-BLACK FEMALE = GAY. So transparent.”

    Wrong! I’ve seen women say P. Diddy is gay and he only dates black women (or mostly) also Eddie Murphy & Johnny Gill (I don’t know what type he dates because no one has ever seen any), Mase has been called gay (he’s so cute) and he’s married to a black woman. No one ever said James Brown, James Earl Jones, Sidney Poitier, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, etc. were gay and they all date yt women.

    April is ugly. I mean she is not on the dearly departed Nicole Simpsons level without a head.

  • Just Because

    enkogkneegro- you are missing the point- it takes more than just being well manicured and groomed for the Gay rumor to be attached.
    I think Wonder why has said it best over and over, the gay label gets attached to some and not all celebrities across every area of the entertainment field. Bottom line what you do in the dark comes to the light.
    Over the years a lot of whispers about celebs have eventually been proven as true.

  • Sim1

    April is cool people. She is from Philly originally. Good person. She is all real.

  • Richard

    She is saying all the right things about the father of her children. Attacking him would be attacking her own children because they hurt when their parents hurt.

    I wish some of these dumb assed broads would learn.

    Who cares if they ain’t married? Their relationship might explain why u never see Tyson with a bunch of ho’s or why he does not have 8 kids.

  • Emanuelle Lewis

    Okay how can you say “..and they are no way gay or whatever a fruit fly is..”? If you don’t know what a fruit fly is, how can you say they aren’t that? (sigh) FYI – a fruit fly is a straight man or woman who enjoys the company of gay men. Hence my point with Tyson….and your friends apparently.

  • enkogkeegro

    @Just Because

    I understand that but these rumors start somewhere …its just the where or why some of these rumors start for me is the thing in question……rejection, revenge, payback or ignorance…….okay so Wonder Why pointed out a few cases where some folks were found to be dabbling with in ding-aling, they are percentage of those accused. I will also remind you that when folks say rumors just don’t start for no reason and that if where’s smoke theres fire….just remember we now have a black president and there is a faction that has put out the rumor he’s muslim…….and even though he has said he is a christian, attended a christian church, got married in a christian churchand his friends vouch for him as a christian……….some folks still want to say he’s muslim and that will continue for years…so under the reasoning of Wonder Why that means in a few years it’ll be fact, Obamas a muslim because if there weren’t something to it folks wouldn’t be saying it. Its clear here where the rumor started and why but in many other cases there may be motives unknown so to take them as fact to me is very week. Now if you say their ridiculous for believing that just because its something they’ve heard and that Obamas christian…..Ah ha ! he knows Farahkan so theres the connection, see how silly shyt can be…thats all those who want to belive he’s muslin need……….so those points that were thrown out there by Wonder Why basically don’t mean shyt……

  • toodles

    I met him and he was real cool and was checking out a few of my girls so if he likes men he likes women as well which makes him bisexual. There isnt anything wrong with being that way unless you are deceiving people. The only problem I have is when men are dishonest. I have met a few on the downlow. Now we met as friends and still are friends but it kills me they are not open with their sexuality. I think thats the part that upsets women. They still act like they like women but hide they like men. Im like just be honest!!!!!

  • ewok

    I think she spelled it out very well for the public! Kudos to her and she seems to have a head on her shoulders. Everybody has their preferences and I think you should date who you want for whatever. I do not feel slighted as a black woman at all if some black man I don’t know from a man on the moon decides to date outside of his race.

  • toodles

    WHO CARE IS OBAMA IS MUSLIM….THERE IS A SEPARATION BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE FOR A REASON. THIS IS AMERICA AND WE HAVE FREEDOM OF RELIGION! WHICH MEANS WE COULD HAVE A LEADER WHO IS CATHOLIC, BUDDHIST, JEWISH, OR ANY OTHER RELIGION! EVERYONE AINT A CHRISTIAN….SORRY TO BUST YOUR BRAINWASHED BUBBLE! GO OBAMA..AND GO MUSLIMS!

How does she know what he does when he’s not around her to see their son? They’re not together anymore! lol The only thing she needed to comment about was how good of a father is and not all this other stuff.

    I don’t care how much money you have or how much money you pay, you can’t raise a child and be a “good parent” if you live thousands of miles away. Children require CONSTANT attention and nurturing, and that happens on a DAILY basis, not on vacations.

  • Kigali (I Love Stay-at-Home Wife/Mothers)

    @me,

    Nice try. Most divorces are iniated by women with the same type of arrogant power hungry mentality as the black female but at the very least they did get married. I have less contempt for them. I have complete and utter contempt for baby mothers who NEVER get married. Unless your husband is on drugs, physically abusive, an adulteror (ask yourself why he may be stepping out), or a pyscho criminal, you really shouldnt be destroying the fabric of your family because the lessons that will be taught to your children via your marriage is too essential or the lessons that will be taught to your children via your divorce is to damaging.

  • http://piv.pivpiv.dk/ me (the original) Ms_NYC and RichardBibs GTFO!!! And no one gives a damn about millionaires club/chat/romance.com!!!

    @ Kigali,

    Nice try what? Everything I stated was absolutely true, and again..the area is predominately WHITE.

    I like how everything goes back to the woman, in particularly the black woman. Even as far as adultery–”ask yourself why is he stepping out” ..lol.

    I suppose it’s better for a child to come up in a home where there is no love for the two people married than in a home where there’s nothing BUT love. That’s an…interesting concept. Already tried and proven to be damaging to the child, but interesting none the less.

    You told me all I needed to know. Thank you and have a lovely evening. :)

  • Angel

    @ Me

    I agree with you. Kigali’s theory is full of holes as well as absurd. People get divorced all the time. It equals the same result. The mother will raise the child or children without the father in the home. Over 75 % of all marriages end in divorce. It is utterly ridiculous for 2 parents to stay married for the children’s sake. A loveless marriage just for the sake of raising children is a heavy burden on the child. Children observe and know when their parents are unhappy with one another. These children grow up dysfunctional and that is a terrible way to grow up. Relationships/ marriages fail all the time. It may be that they have grown apart and no longer want to be together. It is more detrimental to a child’s health to stay in a loveless relationship or marriage for the sake of the children. Kigali is an opinionated fool. She has no idea what it takes to raise a child. The only thing she understands is hatred, bitterness and anger. That makes a terrible parent even if she is married.

  • tj

    How the hell would she know if he gay? He would not tell her. Also she is kinda annoying on the show. They are all crazy biotches but her “accent” is too much.

  • http://realadulttalk.blogspot.com SEX SELLS

    ok…but how the hell you vouching for his non-gayness??? sometimes people should really just say no comment…this is one of those times?

  • http://piv.pivpiv.dk/ me (the original) Ms_NYC and RichardBibs GTFO!!! And no one gives a damn about millionaires club/chat/romance.com!!!

    Now, about single parent homes versus two parent homes.

    It most certainly is NOT to stay in the marriage just for the children if the marriage is in bad shape. How many people are sitting in counseling now, their heads all messed up–because they saw their parents who refused to divorce (usually due to religion) and exposed their children to arguing, violence, physical, mental and emotional abuse. Answer: LOTS.

    You claim to be so “pro-children”, yet you’d subject a child to witnessing Mommy and Daddy fight all the time and abuse each other which is a very UNSTABLE environment instead of Mommy or Daddy packing up and leaving and creating a better environment to raise said child. This is pretty twisted logic, but, you are Kigali, so this is expected. :)

    Again, I’d just like to note..I’m not talking about ALL marriages, I’m talking about bad marriages. There are plenty of them out there and while you’d like to blame the Black Woman for every failed marriage in America most likely, it simply isn’t the case.

    Can you get me some statistics on how many divorces have been filed with this reason sited: “My wife acts like a black woman.” I can just see you headed to Wikipedia now, logging in and making an entry. LMAO.

    Ciao, sweetness :)

  • Love Yourself First

    I think one of the main reasons women accuse men of being gay is because they can’t have them. How sad to think that just because a man doesn’t want to be a part of your world you have to label him as gay. And if he is gay, what should it matter to you? Whether or not you realize it gay men make you look good. And for the silly woman who said just because he has a baby doesn’t make hime straight, I guess the same arguement could be used against you, just because you claim to like men doesn’t mean you wouldn’t sleep with a woman. As far as the men on here calling another man gay, well that speaks for itself. REAL MEN DON”T POINT OUT GAY MEN BECAUSE REAL MEN LIKE WOMEN. At least that’s what they say!

    @Lolah:I agree, spending time with your kid only on holidays and summers doesn’t make you much of a father. I seriously find it hard to believe that Tyson’s schedule is so jam packed that he can’t see his kid every month at the very least.I could tell Tyson barely sees his son by the way the boy was crying in that one episode when his dad came in for a day and had to leave. Too bad because the little boy seems like a sweetheart.

    i think she is cool. people talking about her accent and how she wanna be black, but the thing is if you are surrounded by black people for most of your life, you are going to have the voice tones and vernacular, same thing if growing up in a white neighborhood. and if tyson gay he gay, but i personally dont think he gay

  • Peter Hill Frink

    Thank you to Jordan, April, and Tyson, and also to Producer Leah, her staff, and the other characters on the show, for providing the viewing audience with many important topics for discussion.

    And thanks to all taking the time to write their thoughts. What could be better than learning from each other?

    Bill LaBov at University of Pennsylvania has researched speech pattern and inflection. You could look into it and learn more about the “Black Accent” which embodies a beautiful lyrical quality.

  • Peter Hill Frink

    As it is referred to in sociolinguistic circles, African American Vernacular English or Black English Vernacular–much attention has been paid to the patterns of speech prevalent among African Americans in the inner city. In January 1997, at the height of the Ebonics debate, author and prominent sociolinguist William Labov testified before a Senate subcommittee that for most inner city African American children, the relation of sound to spelling is different, and more complicated than for speakers of other dialects. He suggested that it was time to apply this knowledge to the teaching of reading. The testimony harkened back to research contained in his groundbreaking book: Language in the Inner City, originally published in 1972. In it, Labov probed the question “Does ‘Black English’ exist?” and emerged with an answer that was well ahead of his time, and that remains essential to our contemporary understanding of the subject. Language in the Inner City firmly establishes African American Vernacular English not simply as slang but as a well-formed set of rules of pronunciation and grammar capable of conveying complex logic and reasoning. Studying not only the normal processes of communication in the inner city but such art forms as the ritual insult and ritualized narrative, Labov confirms the Black vernacular as a separate and independent dialect of English. His analysis goes on to clarify the nature and processes of linguistic change in the context of a changing society. Perhaps even more today than two decades ago, Labov’s conclusions are mandatory reading for anyone concerned with education and social change, with African American culture, and with the future of race relations in this country.

    The Nike Air Max LeBron VII has owned some great colorways in the past. Of all the great colorways we have examined on the LeBron VII, my favorite has to be the Nike Air Max Lebron VII All Star. However, here we have two brand new colorways that could be some of the best we have seen.

    These two colorways of the Air Max LeBron VII are inspired by two of the biggest idols zoom lebron had as a child. The red pair is inspired by Deion Sanders, while the other pair honors Penny Hardaway. The pair that is inspired after Penny Hardaway borrows the colors from the Orlando Magic.
